Deinhard - Bernkasteler Doctor Riesling Beerenauslese 1971 - 0,7 l

Deinhard’s 1971 Bernkasteler Doctor Riesling Beerenauslese is a rare dessert wine from one of the Mosel’s most celebrated vineyards. Produced from exceptionally ripe grapes grown on the steep slopes of the Bernkasteler Doctor, it combines remarkable richness with the vivid acidity that gives great Riesling its longevity. Now a mature collector’s wine, it offers a fascinating taste of the region’s celebrated 1971 vintage.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep golden hue, indicative of its long maturation and concentrated style. Its aromatic profile is intensely perfumed, with layers of ripe peach, apricot and mango complemented by notes of honey, sweet spice and developing tertiary nuances. On the palate, it is full-bodied and generously sweet, yet balanced by refreshing Riesling acidity. A long, concentrated finish brings together ripe fruit, delicate spice and a distinct mineral character. Beerenauslese wines are built for extended ageing, and this 1971 bottling should be approached as a mature collector’s wine; its exact condition and remaining potential will depend on storage and fill level.

Production
The grapes came from the steep, highly regarded Bernkasteler Doctor vineyard in the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region, a site known for producing finely structured and long-lived Riesling. Beerenauslese is made from individually selected, exceptionally ripe grapes, resulting in a naturally concentrated wine with pronounced sweetness. Specific details regarding the harvest method, fermentation and maturation of this historic bottling are not available.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly chilled, around 8–10°C, allowing the wine’s aromas and texture to develop in the glass. It is a natural partner for fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, pastries and blue or mature cheeses, while its sweetness and acidity also make it rewarding to enjoy on its own. Decanting is not essential, but carefully standing the bottle upright before opening and serving it gently can help separate any sediment; a short period in a small decanter may also be beneficial if the wine appears tight or contains sediment.

Producer
Deinhard is a historic German wine house with longstanding ties to the country’s Riesling and sparkling-wine traditions. This bottling reflects the prestige of both the Deinhard name and the Bernkasteler Doctor vineyard, one of the Mosel’s most renowned sites. With its 1971 vintage and Beerenauslese classification, it is best suited to collectors and enthusiasts interested in mature German sweet wines.
